Prop control oil line

[longline]

I have a wide deck engine that will be built as a parallel valve. Trying to figure out which Lycoming part number for the prop governor to forward case tube. I do not want to use a hose. I have been told that there are different tubes, so I am looking for the part number from someone that has installed the PCU5000 governor.

Thanks

Call Tom at TS Flightlines. I believe he can bend up whatever you need.

most of the lines are the same from the nose, around the sump to a point near the engine mount boss. From there they are all different. ESPECIALLY for experimentals with different governors, fittings, etc.
Made on several weeks ago for a client that was like one he sent me, then it wasnt. Different governor, and discharge fitting.

Email me and lets get together!

use a hose? --- I have seen it done both ways -- I have a hose.

The Governor does Not determine what line you use - its the housing that the governor bolts onto - some have a 45deg outlet and others horizontal

governor is installed. I guess I will source out one of the old school governors and see what is different. Frankly, it looks like the same orientation/location of the discharge fitting. Be nice if the standard line fits. The flex hose works well, but takes up a lot of room that I am loath to give up.
Thanks

Ron---have made quite a few for this application---mainly because of the different governors, housings and fittings. I have 3 from different engines here, and they are all different on the governor side. I went and did a mockup of one on a local RV8, with a Hartzell governor and a Superior sump. Made 2 of them in rigid 304 stainless, and was going to use them as patterns for another IO360. Had to change the discharge fitting and tweek the bends alittle to fit.

YEP---hose solves alot of those issues.
Its almost like making all the pump to servo hoses and incorporate all the different servos, sumps AND exhausts. Just cant have all those different parts.
But if we know the routing for the tubes at the governors, then we can blend them with the sump routings to make the rigid tubes. Maybe we need to make a trip to Barrett, and do some mockups with the different governors.

OH----if any of you would like a tube----let us know. All we'll need is a pattern of how the tube will fit on YOUR governor and discharge fitting, up to a point about where the dipstick tube is.

Bryan---the one the other day had a 1/4 NPT port and needed a AN822-6S fitting.

My Superior XP IO-360 came with an Aeroquip hose. They don?t use the hardline anymore because of some issues with wear against the clamps holding the line under the cylinders. This flexible line is really too long if routing it in the normal way, so I ran mine over the top. The angle fitting on the nose case points up and slightly aft to accept the hose. The hose runs aft along the backbone of the engine, is secured with an adel clamp bolted to the spider bracket and then it goes through the aft baffle. It really isn?t in the way, it?s easily secured along the way, and would be easy to replace if necessary.

The SS line that was ordered with my Superior engine was part # 75167 and fit perfectly. Google 75167 prop gov oil line and it will give a couple choices to order from.
